You can use QCMDEXC to request double-byte character set (DBCS) input data to be entered with a command.
The command format used for QCMDEXC to prompt double-byte data is:
CALL QCMDEXC ('command' command-length IGC)
The third parameter of the QCMDEXC program, IGC, instructs the system to accept double-byte data. For example, the following CL program asks a user to provide double-byte text for a message. Then the system sends the following message:
PGM CALL QCMDEXC ('?SNDMSG' 7 IGC) ENDPGM
An explanation of the system message follows:
The following display is shown after running the QCMDEXC program. You can use double-byte conversion on this display:
